GABRIELLA'S POV:

"No I'll pay."

"I want to pay."

"Gabriella let's not argue this night, let me pay for the meal."

"I like paying for my meals and stuffs. There is no way you're paying for me. Just because your the guy doesn't mean that you have to pay. The girl can also pay."

"I know but I want to pay. Let me do this Gaby."

"No." I said adamant. "I'll pay with my card." I told the waiter and gave him my credit card and he was about to put it inside the POS machine when Andre spoke.

Shit!

"I don't think you want to have trouble with me. So be a good dog and take my card." Andre shot him a glare.

I could see he was scared of Andre and that led to him giving me back my card and gave me an apology look and took Andre's card.

I groaned in annoyance at his intimidation and bullying.

"S-s-savings or current?" He asked Andre timidly.

"Savings." Andre started.

"Y-y-your pin number." He handed the machine to Andre. He rolled his eyes and took it. Once he was done with putting in his pin, he gave it to the waiter. The transaction was made and he gave Andre the receipt and left.

"You're annoying you know." I said as we left the restaurant. I got on his back and we moved.

"I've been called worse." There was evidence in his voice that he smirked.

"Idiota." I murmured.

"I heard that." He said and I giggled.

"Andre where are we actually going to?" I asked and poked his head.

"Owww!" He shouted like as if he was in pain.

Wait, was he?

"Stop overreacting, that wasn't painful." I said and rolled my eyes.

"Says you Miss Witch with long and sharp nails like the claws of a cat!"

"I do not have long nails!"

"I have marks on my back to testify." He said and I kept quiet.

"Silent huh?......Oh and to answer your question. It's a surprise and we have arrived at it." He spoke and stopped.

I looked across the road and saw there was an ice cream shop or building that was shaped like a big ice cream cone with rainbow coloured ice cream in it.

I got down from his back and we crossed the road to where it was. There was a man probably in his mid fifties inside turning the little signboard to close.

"Shit!" Andre said and went to the door to meet him leaving me behind. The man came out and from what I see, they were having a conversation.

After a little while...... Andre told me to come and I went to meet them.

"Welcome." The nice looking man greeted and gave me a smile as he opened the door wider for us to pass.

We settled on a booth not that far from the door as slow love songs played through the speakers. There were two menus shaped like an ice cream cone on the table. I took one and he took the latter. My eyes scanned the list of ice creams there. There were the birthday cake ice cream, cookies and cream ice cream, black cherry ice cream, chocolate peanut butter ice cream, chocolate chip ice cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream, French vanilla ice cream and so many more!
